Move from Developer to Architect or Manager?
Asked by oasisman82
I'm a Senior Software Developer with some architecture skills. In fact I've attempted to design and lead our new CRM redevelopment. Things are going ok, although, not everything has been designed perfectly as I'd like. Anyway, I've been at this company for 8 years, started as a Programmer. There is no technical person above me, only a Dev Manager, Project Manager and GM of IT (CIO)... How do I progress my career??? I'm chasing dollar signs here and need to get ahead. I'm thinking of moving to the US or Europe to gain broader experience.... I'm not liking the coding work these days, I think 10 years of it is enough. What can I do? Sharepoint developers get a stack of money, but we've only just got sharepoint and I'm not involved in the project. Hmmm, so many questions and paths, not sure what to do... I'm thinking the only way is up the chain, but how do I get there??? I need to somehow score an Architect position where there is a Chief Architect...........
